Depends on the industry.

I worked at a Wendy's that made 2 mil per year profit. Total number of employees was less than 30. Total employee payroll was around 500k per year. You could double wages and employee count and still turn a profit.

There was no reason for managers to be as pressed on their hours as they were and there was little need for prices to increase to cover competition for employees.

I could walk into a taco bell and have my order taken by the foreign exchange worker of the week who was out touring the world as a labor import on tour. Which is fine - good for them - but when you are allowed to import people who will work for peanuts before being sold as a mail order to compete with native labor, it depresses, artificially, the true cost burden of a service.

The U.S. is a command economy. There is only the illusion of a free market. It is impossible to have a free market in a system where the currency holds no intrinsic purchasing power.

We do not drive the economy with our spending.

The economy is driven by printing.

As such, there is no reason to be concerned about the amount of it or if we are competing with socialism.

We are already there.

How we get out is to build the infrastructure needed to sustain a free market.

Consider that when I worked there, I never had a consistent schedule. I worked splits, would close at 3 in the morning, have a "day off" then open at 4 in the morning the day following.

I worked, at any given time, 3 stations.

For 8.75.

Those are slave labor conditions.

I was in the Navy, prior to my stint in fast food. To say I know a thing or two about a watch bill and leadership is an understatement.

You can't drive people the way they were and expect a healthy environment. At all. It wasn't even about pay - the fact I was always having to view the customer as an obstacle to a task the managers were pressured to keep to a time limit was absurd. It is literally nothing to them to have an extra hand here and there to tale care of those responsibilities before clocking out and leaving. Instead, it gets lumped into an increasingly diversified role that has the employee dreading the appearance of customers.

You know… The thing the business supposedly exists to service.

Which is more or less what I said.

I have nothing against seeing a foreigner or meeting them. I do enjoy the experience.

But it comes at a cost.

People think that they are getting all kinds of benefits from cheap chinese labor and the like.

Consider that Nike makes their shoes in China for peanuts and then charges $70 a pair, or something in that neighborhood. Has since I was a kid, anyway, and $70 was twice as much as it is, now.

And that's the game. Someone, somewhere, pretends as though it is a good deal for us and then doesn't pass the good deal on. For… Whatever reason. A company that makes their shoes for peanuts can compete with the market price of companies who produce domestically (lol, we don't do that anymore) - and someone along the way nets the stupid profit margin that no market under competition would support.

And it certainly isn't the chinese laborer.

It's called competition.

Starve them of their contract foreign labor and also pay people what they need to survive for a period of time.

We have riots in the streets, kid. Morality has no place in what is unfolding. You would understand that if you understood Q.

Who do you think is running Antifa other than the military spec ops we embedded in them to organize and control them?

Do you not understand what full control means?
